From ASX report today
In September this year, TEN will introduce tendaily, a new, standalone website that will be rich in short-form video and offer users news, entertainment, lifestyle and sport content.
Tendaily represents a significant expansion of the Company’s digital strategy and will operate alongside tenplay.
They’ll have to have some sort of news department to offer some sort of news. No doubt click bait tabloid shit.
That’s a pretty long road map for a company which by all reports are living week to week financially. Optimistic at least.
“Ten will be reliant on its billionaire shareholders which includes Bruce Gordon, Gina Rinehart, Lachlan Murdoch and James Packer plus Foxtel to secure new funding” - TV tonight
so i don’t think they are living week to week if they secure the funding from them.
And hopefully they do come to the rescue. But either way, a $232 million loss and warnings of ‘material uncertainty’ don’t exactly scream stable financial position to me.
I knew this was going to happen…

From The Project thread
Seems the launch for ten daily may’ve been pushed back again, with the above release from Ten stating “later this year”.
Taking a long, long time to get this off the ground. I wonder how much money they’ve poured in already…
ten daily more like ten next century
You guys expect everything yesterday.
Well it was initially announced at the 2016 upfronts and then announced as coming in September last year, so fair game to wonder or question when it might actually be surfacing.
to be fair I think Channel Ten has had a few other pressing issues to deal with over the last 12 months
Network Ten today announced the appointment of Mel Cornford as Managing Editor of ten daily.
Ten daily is Network Ten’s new standalone, mobile-optimised website that will be rich in short-form video content and offer premium and exclusive entertainment, lifestyle, opinion news and sport content. It will launch this year.
At ten daily, Ms Cornford joins Lisa Wilkinson, who was appointed Executive Editor earlier this year. More editorial appointments will be announced soon.
Ms Wilkinson’s ten daily role is in addition to her hosting Network Ten’s award-winning news and current affairs program, The Project, with co-hosts Carrie Bickmore, Waleed Aly and Peter Helliar, as well as hosting The Sunday Project.
Ms Cornford joined Network Ten in 2016 as project lead on ten daily and has played a key role in developing the new website.
Before she joined Network Ten, Ms Cornford spent more than 10 years working in digital editorial production, content, commercial, strategy and staff management for industry-leading organisations.
Most recently Ms Cornford was Head of Yahoo7’s lifestyle, entertainment and travel division, leading the launch team for Yahoo7’s lifestyle and entertainment platform, Be. She has also held senior editorial roles at News Corp Australia, including online editor of body+soul and senior digital producer at Vogue Australia.
Network Ten General Manager, Digital, Liz Baldwin, said: “Mel has been integral to the creation of ten daily and I’m delighted to welcome her as the website’s Managing Editor.
“Mel’s impressive background leading digital editorial teams across many top online brands made her perfect for the role and her editorial vision has been key to the development to ten daily.
“Together with Lisa as Executive Editor of ten daily, we have an impressive editorial team dedicated to bringing a fresh entertainment and news brand to Australians everywhere,” she said.
Will we see ten daily merge to be the major news brand? Eyewitness news will probably be pushed aside to integrate the news element of ten daily into the news service. Just a thought.
I was thinking that if they really wanted to get more exposure for the website and tie it into their television business they could do a half hour daily entertainment type program with the same title in the afternoons.
Obviously it would work like an Entertainment Tonight type show but an Australian version - kind of like how Nine works in 9Honey as a segment to it’s Nine News Now program. Given CBS’ interests in expanding ET into a bigger 24/7 platform I’m sure such an idea wouldn’t be unwelcome for Ten to float with the new owners.
It could be pre-recorded after Studio 10 from the newsroom with a few quick set changes, featuring regular host Angela Bishop + someone else to fill in when she’s away. They could also have Craig Bennett, Liv Phyland, Scott Tweedie etc as regular contributors or correspondents.
Plus additional people like Maude Garrett, Xavier Brinkman, Hyla from the states and Lucy McDonald in the UK who are already appearing across The Project etc could contribute additional content across various entertainment genres.
It would have in studio interviews, entertainment headlines, packaged stories, overseas junkets and local premieres etc. I’m sure advertisers such as movie / streaming / music distributors would pay for their latest song or flick to be highlighted as well as gossip magazines or other websites who aren’t direct competitors would be interested also.
They could replay it overnight or on other channels in later timeslots to get advertisers more exposure with extra eyeballs for the show. Just an idea…
